GuestOctober 28, 2025 at 1:33 pmI make handwashing fun by singing songs and encourage children to rub the soap around in their hands making a lather, talking about the texture of the soap and how the water feel as they rinse their hands.

GuestNovember 2, 2025 at 2:01 amI like to create a soap bubble challenge with kiddos. We have a very fun activity to see who can make more bubbles while washing hands.

GuestNovember 3, 2025 at 7:04 pmI like to sing and dance with the kids when it comes to washing hands. Another thing that I feel is really important is to engage in the activity with them. Do so with a smile on your face that way it can be heard in the voice. If you make it fun then it’s never a hassle to get it done!

GuestNovember 3, 2025 at 9:20 pmSinging with them songs like Twinkle Twinkle little star for 20 to 30 seconds. The point is to entertain them while they learn how to take care of themselves and if they find it fun, it will make it easier for them to learn it.
